Just wondering if any one here with spoolin Per. IC Pipes ever bottom out their car?

Did it crush your pipes?

I have mine installed, but they look kinda low to me, I'm thinking of adding some kind of brace or skid plate under the car just incase I ever bottom out.
I mean in NYC I've even bottomed out with the stock ride height. When I install my eibachs springs, those things will be like 1.5 - 2" off the ground, which makes me real nervous

You should not have to worry about laying your ic piping on the ground.. if you think it's to low have them remade.

 

make sure they are higher than the lowest point on the car.

unfortunatley the spooling preformance pipes aren't design very well, they are the lowest point under the car

 

its a ic piping kit and will need to be modified slightly and accordingly when i sell them i always tell my customers they need to have a brace welded on to support the pipes. take a look at fmax piping and youll see the same thing ic piping that hangs fairly low. you can " bend" some powersteering lines out of the way and try to tuck it up farther. only solution on nA'T's unless you go TT style intake manifold.

 

I was able to route my SP pipes in a way even Phil didn't consider, so now they're tucked up pretty high.
I think I only have like one picture....let me dig it up....
Why wouldn't my picture host be down?
I'll post it as soon as my host comes back up.

kmn5: You gotta remember that the SP kit was designed for a Supra, not for an SC so you can't expect fitment to be very good.
I'll try to get a couple of shots of how my pipes are laid in the next few days.
In the meantime, keep your car out of large potholes.

^supra and sc motors and engine bay's are almost identical so that has nothing to do tremendously with the fitment.

On a personal note: mine hang somewhat low but its most certainly not the lowest point on the car. Some cutting, ac/ps line relocation and test fitting allowed me to fit them up fairly well.

Pic of the transition across (lowest point on the ic pipes)

 

Ok...got 2 pics for now:
In this one you can kinda see where the pipe is relative to the pulley:

And here, you can see that I actually put the bottom plastic cover piece back on, which means the pipes were not in the way:

I'll try to take a few more shots when it's not pouring outside.
